Two RIVERS came near having a very
serious fire on Monday of this week. The
upper portion Of the pail factory caught
fire, and before it was discovered the
flames were bursting through the roof.
It was a terrible day for a fire, as the
wind was almost blowing a hurricane, and
the path of the fire would be almost
through the heart of the city. Mani

ALL the county officers insist that they
are crowded in their present quarters,
and such is the fact. The county Will
soon be compelled to do something in the
way Of preparing more commodious quar-
tors. The little stalls called offices were
mover fit for occupancy and now with the
number Of papers and books filed away
there is hardly room in each for good
sized man. The county needs a new
court house and it viii be wise for the
county board to give some consideration
to the matter at an early day.
4 REPORT that the horses stolen in this
county, one team from Rehbein Of Kos
suth and one from a Cooperstown farmer,
had been discovered in a stable in Mil
waukee, cannot be verified from informa-
ton given by officers here. The item
appeared in the Milwaukee papers and
stated the horses had been sold for $500
by young man named Gunderson. Mr..
Pierce was in Milwaukee last week on
official business but was not notified
while there of any such discovery. The
report is probably cunard.

CHICAGO has a pretty thorough ice
blockade. The head Of the lake from
Chicago southwark is ice from shore to
shore, with clear spaces through which
steamers pick their way. Along the west
shore from Chicago to within a few miles
OF Milwaukee, the ice belt is 10 miles wide
at its narrowest and grows broader to the
southwark until the eastern shore is
reached. Sail vessels cannot make Chi
cago without the assistance Of tugs. The
prevailing north winds keep the ice there.

Interesting Facts About Carpets.

eve have in stock no less than a thou. sand patterns of carpets" said the man. ager of big carpet store to a Chicago Herald reporter, ''and our present stock comprises 5000 rolls. Not one of these patterns is more than year old. The activity of the carpet designers and manufacturers is something marvellous. Perhaps as many as 1,5OO or 1000 new patterns are produced in a year in this country alone. Philadel. phia manufacturers are notorious copy ists, while the Connecticut makers work exclusively from original designs. There are carpet designers in this country who draw salaries as high as S10,O00 year. The most expensive carpets in our stock are s4.50 yard, but we often m ake car pets to order, or have them made In Scot land of best Administer, that cost as much as S24 square yard, laid. It is quite fashionable among wealthy people to have the carpets for their libraries and parlors made to order from designs furnished by theIr decorators. I have often seen S1, 200 or S1, 800 worth of carpet put into one room of ordinary size"

ELECTRIC METERS.

Inc Simple Method Employed for the Pur.
 pose of Measuring Electricity.
 A reporter of Rochester paper, who wanted to find out how electricity was measured, investigated, with the fol- lowing result: The first thing he found bearing on the subject was an iron box about twelve inches by ten, in which was lnclosed the working machinery. This was taken out and shown to him, with clear explanation of its method of operation. The cur rent passes through the meter by two routes. One is a broad and easy road composed of strip of zinc. The other is circuitous journey over wire through block of zine, through a liquid dilute sulphate of zinc, through another block of zinc, another wire and so back to the main current. These two blocks of zinc are immersed in bottle filled with the liquid. The popularity of the two routes is as 974 to l. That is, 974 times as much elec- tricity travels by the direct all zinc route as travels by the combined zinc and water route. This proportion can be determined by the relative resistance of the metal and the solution used. When the lights are burning and elec- tricity is passing through the meter a deposit of zinc is constantly carried from one block of metal to the other Sc that one block of metal becomes con tinually heavier at the expense of the other. At the end of the month these blocks are carefully weighed and by the difference in weight from one month to the next as shown by the records, is shown how much light has been used during the month. One milligramme represents six cents worth of light, or a ten-candle power light in use for four hours When a light is turned out the circuit is broken, not closed by shorter circuit, and so the action of the meter is lesseRed by just that much. Two test circuits are placed in each meter These are often found to record exactly the same amount at the end of the month, and rarely vary more than milligramme or two.-Science.

DRESS MATERIALS.
A General Revival of Last Years Sty
 for Spring and Summer.

General Revival of Last Years Styles
 for Spring and Summer.
 India silks and French foulards are largely imported for house dresses in the spring and for general wear in summer The old designs of flowers, palms and Persian arabesques are again shown, but the new fancy is for plaids, bars and stripes in these silks. very similar in coloring to those of cot. ton or of wool goods. The violet blue. silks will have irregular bars of pink and green, the darkest blue grounds will be crossed with white or with red, and brown will alternate with ecru as ground or as figures. The inch-square plaids are thought handsomest in light colors. while the dark grounds look well in rather large or extremely fine small crossings of contrasting bars. The striped designs are most varied of all, one of the best new patterns being inch-wide stripes of very fine white specks, with blue, brown, green, gray, or dull red stripes of the same width separating them. The hair stripes of last year are repeated, but have become monoton- ous. as they are in all kinds of fabrics. Powered stripes are very effective in leaf or ily-of-the-valley patterns, or in slesider vines of gay small buds partly brown. Greek squares and the zigzag of chuddah stripes are also shown. A great deal of French foulard is in the market, but this has worn so badly that it has lost favor, and merchants are too much given to calling it India silk be- cause the latter is more durable. White India silks, with all-over patterns of graceful lines in black, brown, or scar let, will make pretty summer dresses, and ehere are many watteau and pom padour designs of roses and pinks in pale and charming colors. The surahs, with large, wide diagonal twills, are shown in all solid colors and in many plaids, come of the prettiest being dark blue crossed with pink and lighter blue, suede wyth bars of rose and green, and green ground barred with pink. These are to be made up in entire dresses not in Onbinations-with velvet col lar, vest and cuffs, and scalloped drapery Oh lower skirts bordered with velvet, or else folded in exceedingly wide pleats with velvet inlaid between.

 Nice cookies are made with one cup of butter, two cups of sugar, three eggs, two teaspoonfuls each of baking powder and boiling water, and four enough to knead as soft as can be rolled out-Boston Budget.
 Beaten Biscuit: Two pints of flour, one teaspoon of salt, one tablespoon of lard, mix into a stiff dough with equal parts of water and milk; beat thirty minutes with a wooden spoon; bake in quick oven.-Tbe Household

 Ordinary building paper is cheap and of great value to keep cold out of all farm buildings. It may be nailed on, with lath covering the seams, pressing them close to the wall. The paper may also be utilized for covering a screen door, making it serve the pur- pose of double door to exclude cold. Detroit Tribune.
 -Crumb griddle cakes: The night before using put some bread crumbs to soak in one quart of sour milk; in the morning rub through sieve and add four well-beaten eggs, two tea spoons soda dissolved in little water, one tablespoon melted butter and enough cornmeal to make them the consistency of ordinary griddle cakes. It is better to beat yolks and whites separately, stirring the whites lightly in just before baking. Bu1e- tin.
 It is a good plan to wash horses necks and shoulders with cold water after the days work in spring and summer. It will strengthen them and prevent lameness and galling. This is especially necessary if the horses have not done much work in winter and are then set to work suddenly in spring. If a horse be sick or lame or swelled, bathing will often improve it. If the parts affected be cold, then let the wa ter be little warm; but if the parts be warm, let the water be cold. Some salt dissolved in the water will add to its efficiency.-San Francisco Ctron- icle.
 Looking to spring and transplant ing, we say: First dig your holes and supply mellow, rich soil in place of all the poor soil that comes out of them. Years ago, when the Rural grounds were planted, muck from what is now the lake was the soil used to fill in the holes. There is muck and muck. no doubt. But a thriftier line of trees, both evergreen and deciduous, than we have, is rarely to be found. The roots of young trees soon grow out of the hole prepared for their receptions; but a good start in the case of tree is more important and helpful than in the case of a corn plant Western Rural.

An Indians Ingenuity.

A Western emigrant having stolen a horse from an Indian, the latter convicted him of the offense by a very ingenious plan. He complained to a judge, who had the emigrant, with the horse, brought be- fore him. The prisoner swore that the animal belonged to him, and that he had brought it from the East, so that the judge did not find himself in position to convict. He was even about to return the horse to him, when the Indian said: "If you will allow me, will prove that the animal belongs to me-" Immediately he pulled of his cloak, and covering the horses head, asked the emigrant of which eye it was blindi The robber was much embarrassed at the question, but, never theless, not to delay the court, he replied at hazard that it was the right eye. The Indian, uncovering the head, exclaimed: ''The horse is not blind either of the righ eye or the left" The judge immediately decided that the animal was his.
